PARIS (Reuters) - Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said playing Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals is the opportunity the five-times champions wanted in their bid to get back where they belong after crashing out in the group stage two years in a row.

Currently in a good vein of form, having won eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions, Xavi's side have conceded only one goal in their last six matches and stand second in the LaLiga table, eight points behind leaders Real Madrid.
